The National Transport and Safety Authority has suspended night travel for long distance vehicles.
This action follows today’s accident at Salgaa which killed a total of 36 passengers. A message from the body reads in parts:
“In order to review the effectiveness of the current measures in place to improve road safety, the Authority in consultation with other relevant Government agencies hereby suspends night travel for all long distance public service vehicles from 31st December, 2017.All night travel must be scheduled to take place between 6am and 6pm”.
From now henceforth, only short distance vehicles and personal cars would be allowed to travel at night.
